REVIEW: GALLOW'S POLE – Waiting for the Mothership

 


GALLOW'S POLE – Waiting for the Mothership


Pure Rock Records


Waiting for the Mothership marks the seventh studio release from the Austrian band Gallow's Pole. Published under Pure Steel Records, a label known for its focus on traditional heavy metal and classic hard rock, this album presents a departure from the band's previous work.


The band’s intended style is rooted in '70s hard rock, yet the album demonstrates a sound that incorporates elements reminiscent of '90s rock, creating a hybrid that may seem unconventional to some listeners. Notably, the vocal delivery on this record has been described by some as atypical, which may influence the overall listening experience.



Reception of the album has been mixed, with some listeners appreciating the experimentation, while others find the sound inconsistent or not aligned with the traditional hard rock and heavy metal aesthetic that the band and label typically represent. Overall, Waiting for the Mothership may appeal to a niche audience open to genre blending, but it might not meet the expectations of fans seeking a classic '70s hard rock or heavy metal sound.


Potential listeners are encouraged to explore samples or listen to the album before making a decision, as personal taste in production and vocal style can significantly influence the experience.
